Realization dawned on Long Tao and Li Xuan.
Sun Ningxiang, who had already guessed Liu Jie's identity, looked both shocked and confused.
While she contemplated her doubts, the other disciples of the veteran and top factions were also wondering what was going on.
Zuo Ming was an important person.
Even in their prime, Sun Ningxiang's grandfather still needed a month's notice before visiting Zuo Ming. Even then, the meeting was not guaranteed.
Important people always cared about their reputation.
Since the man wearing the standard Spirit Guards mask was Chief Guard Ye's disciple, it was only right that Zuo Ming bowed to him.
But if Zuo Ming only wanted to bow to Liu Jie, he could have stood directly in front of Liu Jie. He would definitely not have stood between Liu Jie and Lin Yuan like he was doing now.
Since Zuo Ming was facing Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, the others could only see Zuo Ming's back and not his face.
